I miss Cliff

Today is the day when I commemorate my friend Cliff, and his departure from this goddamned mortal coil six years ago. "Some folks are like umbrellas/they pass through your life with little meaning/then there's the ones that make you hang on to every word/well he was one of the latter/he came into my room and told me things that mattered" (The Handsome Family- "Everything That Rises Must Converge")

Here's one link about him that I've posted before, and check out past posts here under the category "Cliff Doerksen" for loads of links to his writing. Funniest guy I ever knew.
